I can say that for our Chapter, we all live around the school. It's a commuter campus, and so everyone lives anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes from school... We've had sisters living on campus (like myself) but our parents still live in the area.

So to answer you question, we would have summer dues, (if we start having monthly dues) because we do get together over the summer, and it's nice not having to bring/buy everything outta our own pockets for these events.

We've had numerous E-Board meetings, car washes, step team practices, bonfires, birthdays, etc. (We learned the hard way last year, when we didn't have ANY get togethers... Ended up having 5 sisters dissaffiliate... Don't think it was all because of the summer "drought" but I think it had a lot to do with it...)

Anyways, thanks for everyone's posts on their chapter dues... I'm going to let the E-Board know, so that we can think of dues that would suit us, but still not be too overboard.
